And so.

And so we meet with pastor and his wife today to discuss the possibility of leading the team of communitas-michigan. Crazy to think of the possibility of superstar and I leading the team when they go-not exactly what I ever thought I might be doing. But that is the beauty of God and how He would choose to use us. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, and ahead of God's plan for us, so I am not going to go crazy on this idea. But I am going to be open to the possibility of God using us in this way, and I am going to commit to praying that God would reveal to us how this might play out here in Michigan.

I wrote a little about this on Sunday (because apparently some people only live to read this blog!!). I told my men's group last night that I was finally at a point of total peace going to nyc to do this, and God might be telling me-"Well, not just yet." That is challenging to get so excited to do something you know God is calling you to do, and then have God tell you it is not His timing just yet. Who knows, I may be processing all this for naught and next week I will get a job in nyc. Either way, I can tell you that it is an honor to take the things in my life that I have always led with my plans, and submit them to God and ask how He might lead me to do His work.

Maybe God is calling you to do something. Maybe you need to let something go and give Him control of it. I can tell you after some of my addictions and some of my sins that were keeping me separated from God, once you allow Him to take control of those things, He frees you like you never thought possible. As we spoke with pastor and his wife today, pastor talked about leadership-and the fact that God doesn't really open that door to you completely unless you are really submitting to Him. So are you? I am telling you perfection is a hard bar to reach, but the more you give your life to following Jesus, the easier life seems to go here on this pit of corruption.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
